The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC49

It's time for another challenge here in The Cafe.
But before we get to it, there's some

Big News!

The Play Date Cafe will be on the prowl
for additions to The World's Best Design Team!Could it be you?
In the next couple weeks, we will be issuing an
official DT call, so if you are interested,
keep an eye out here!

"When I saw this photograph I just fell in love
with the colour combo. It really keeps my attention.
I love turquoise and hot pink together,
but would never think to combine it with
the warm, rust brown yet this image really works"

"My name is Pat Huntoon, and I am a junkie....
... a junkie for stamping and scrapbooking!

How did this happen to me? I was THE "anti-craft" !!!
I was a driven career-woman who never did anything crafty.

Then I had my kids and all that changed.

I found that I wanted and needed a creative outlet.

Then I found scrapbooking.

Not long after, I was introduced to stamping, and now I am enveloped

in this long and beautiful love affair with these two wonderful crafts.

Eventually I started a little web-site, Patstamps to display my cards...
...Then I became addicted to techniques.

I started to crawl the web looking for new and fun ways

to use all of these tools that I was acquiring...

and the first Technique Junkie Newsletter was born.

So, I am Pat Huntoon. I am a junkie.

A wife, a mother (two sons!) website owner, publisher and CRAFTER."

Our design team were give a wonderful tutorialto work with called 'Clipped Corners'. Each designer put their own 'unique spin' on thisfabulous tutorial. We love when we can becreative with the 'same' technique.

WOW...these are fabulous colours for this week's challenge, will have to get thinking cap on ... though as usual FANTASTIC inspiration from the DT. Thank you for honourable mention for my journal page! Cannot wait to "splodge" (whoops blend) these colours together!

Eeeeek! What a fabulous surprise to wake up to this morning! Soooo, stinkin' excited! Thanks for making me your Cup of the Week! There were so, very, many, fantastic entries, so I'm sure it was a tough choice! Yippeee! Thank you!

Thanks so much for including me in the "Fab 4" this week! That is a pretty awesome way to start the day! Congrats to Jinny, too and everyone else who was chosen for their wonderful creations. :) Can't wait to play again this week. That new color combo looks like SO much fun!

Wow, is this color combination ever a challenge!!! I find I am woefully lacking in imagination and have only the simplest of tags for my entry. The design team is incredible. How you all came up with these fabulous examples is awesome.
